Description
The Art of Activism is an all-purpose guide to artistic activism, combining the creative power of the arts to move us emotionally with the strategic planning of activism necessary to bring about social change.
With contemporary case studies and historical examples, this book offers chapters on cultural and cognitive theory, and sections on what can be learned from unlikely sources like popular culture and marketing techniques. It includes investigations into ethics and evaluation, explorations of the creative process and the importance of utopian thinking. An attached workbook with over fifty exercises allows readers to practice and refine their skills.
The co-founders of the Center for Artistic Activism take readers step-by-step through the process of becoming, or becoming even better, artistic activists.
